1. Ben burns J.Lo… “I should never have got engaged and never gone down that route. I thought I wanted certain things, but I didn’t. I got lost and felt suffocated, miserable and gross.” That’s Ben Affleck reflecting dearly on his relationship with Jennifer Lopez. “Being in the middle of a tabloid frenzy, it became so intense I had to stop and think, ‘What am I doing with my life?’” We’re sure J.Lo’s going to feel like a million bucks after hearing that—especially since she poured her heart out to him on her album This Is Me… Now.
2. Lindsay plugs her own film… Lindsay Lohan claims she never saw that scathing letter from studio boss James G. Robinson about her party girl habits while filming Georgia Rule. “I never even saw that letter, by the way. I really didn’t until it was published,” Lindsay insists. “It was so funny because I’m very close with his son, and the movie I just saw recently… I snuck into the back and the movie turned out amazing.”
3. Now that, kids, is what we call a cop-out… Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Ferrell and Shawn ‘Jay-z’ Carter For have been honored in GQ magazine’s 11th annual Men of the Year issue. Pick one and run without, is what we say.
4. A little lipstick sometimes does the trick… Renee Zellweger has declared her 128-day marriage to country singer Kenny Chesney “the biggest personal mistake of my life.” The twosome tied the knot in 2005 after a whirlwind four-month courtship, but Renee filed for an annulment of the marriage just four months later. “I made the biggest personal mistake of my life. I felt a fool,” she tells British mag Now. “I just needed to put acting aside. I needed to sit still and not to worry about the dresses and the hair and the travel and the interviews… I wanted to stop and be a girl for a while.”
5. Panic in Mumbai… Chaos erupted in India when Angelina Jolie jumped onto a packed passenger train during an impromptu shoot for A Mighty Heart. Angelina bought a ticket from a south Mumbai (Bombay) commuter station and boarded a local train with four bodyguards, while the crew shot from outside. The stars’ bodyguards managed to bundle the actress out of the train before it got too dangerous. But seriously, folks: An impromptu shoot with Angelina Jolie? We could’ve predicted that wouldn’t go down well—anywhere.
6. Déjà Vu, it’s not just a movie… George Clooney has been named Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine… again. Come on, people. George is a hunk, but surely there are some fresher guys out there who deserve the accolade.
7. Jessica’s heading for the broken heart’s club… Jessica Biel is reportedly dating baseball star Derek Jeter. Derek’s dated a string of beauties, including Mariah Carey, Scarlett Johansson and Vanessa Minnillo. But since Jessica’s way hotter than all those girls put together, maybe she’ll be the one to dump him.
8. Just don’t look upstairs, OK?… In an interview with gay publication The Advocate, Terminator 3 star Kristanna Loken hinted at a hookup with Michelle Rodriguez. The two have been frequently photographed together in and around Hollywood with their arms around each other, so when the interview asked Kristanna about it, she replied: “There is the $64,000 question. Um…I don’t even know how to answer that.”
9. And in the incestuous world of reality TV… Kristin Cavallari and then Nicole Richie‘s ex-boyfriend Brody Jenner has split with former Laguna Beach star Lauren Conrad after less than a month of dating. Too bad. Jenner was a step up for “LC” compared to her ex, Laguna Beach star Jason Wahler.
10. She can’t be that crazy… According to British newspaper The Mail on Sunday, Italian actress Yvonne Scio claims she was attacked so viciously by Naomi Campbell she needed hospital treatment for cuts and bruises to her face. “She pushed me against a wall and tried to scratch my face. Then she punched me two of three times in the face really violently and there was blood everywhere,” Scio describes the attack in an interview with Italian magazine Chi. “I was petrified. I couldn’t even cry because I was in such pain. I was stunned. She was like Mike Tyson.” OK, we know Naomi has a bad rap but the Tyson reference is a bit out there. We get the point.
